I was fortunate enough to walk away from a $25 minimum table with a little over $1,000 fairly recently. Before leaving, I had the pleasure to have the following thought run through my mind: "Would it be a good idea to ask for a security escort to my car?"
I have never been faced with such a 'luxury problem.' For me, $1000 is considered a big win.
I know security brings added attention, but the cool thing is that, as I am not a card counter, they cannot give me a hard time for counting. In fact, sometimes I even turn my head away from the table when the dealer flips over her hole card after I have busted to show that I don't care what her card was. But I am aware they can still give me a hard time for winning and being an advantage player. And from what I've heard, depending on the casino, one can be backed off or banned even without the casino providing a 'good' reason.
Does anyone have any input as to guidelines before asking for a security escort? For example, someone may suggest there is no need unless your win is over, say, $5,000.
I am not a small man, and I would hope to think that it is fairly obvious that I work out. But still the possibility of mugging, etc. exists. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!
